vanCONTROLLER Interface Points top of the page link

The vanCONTROLLER’s main interface point with the vehicle is with the electronic throttle signals. The signal paths are cut and then the vanCONTROLLER fits in-line, so that the vanCONTROLLER can then replicate the throttle signals. Other key signals that the controller will interface with include:

  • Engine and road speed
  • Ignition
  • Handbrake
  • CAN

By interfacing with these signals, the vanCONTROLLER can influence the operation of the vehicle, and add functions and features to the vehicle.
